Everything seems a bit big to me. I think that the sleeves of a B-6 are generally not optimal and only look good with the press stud closed. They are simply straight tubes with a rather large hand opening. My D-1 has slightly curved sleeves, which makes the sleeve look shorter for the same...
Having had four shearlings from 5* and three from Aero for comparison, I can say that the quality of the shearling from Aero is significantly better. The leather content is almost twice as thick as that of 5*. With the last one (reddish brown) from 5*, the fur was not really dense and this...
I think darts are good when the curvature cannot be created in any other way. For example, the bulge for the chest of a ladies' jacket (unless you want to work with several pieces). Or if I want to fix something later, e.g. darts on the back of a shirt. I have darts on some jeans and chinos at...
Because you're taking the piss out of people here with a sob story about your grandfather, when all you really need is information for your sales advert to make a few more bucks.
I thought the Type 1/2 was pretty cool at one point, but not so much any more. At least for myself. I like Type 3 better or completely different interpretations of it.
But you'll manage to come up with a good version ;-)
Quick update... I don't know if it's the pattern or the soft, thick leather, but I wore the jacket for 11 hours straight today and didn't notice it. In fact, the measurements are on the tighter side, but it doesn't feel the least bit tight. Rather the opposite. The first day was very satisfying ;)
Thanks.
I have written everything down here.

Leilah has already noted a few points and I'm sure that these will be taken into account for new jackets.
The soft leather is not necessarily a disadvantage. In any case, it's super comfortable. I think my love would prefer this leather umpteen times over the stiff Aero leather. Definitely the...
Sometime in January I saw the first pictures of the jackets from Rugged West and thought why not try out a new label. Especially as I don't have a trucker jacket anyway.
So I made an impulse purchase, so to speak.
At first, the payment function was not yet set for use outside the UK, but a quick...
